Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said that when the team signed Terrelle Pryor they did so for him to play quarterback, according to the Kansas City Star.

“We’re going to give him an opportunity to play quarterback and see how he does,”Reid said. “He’s there lifting everyday and doing his thing. We can’t meet with him but he shows up everyday and does what he can do.”

Reid also stated they are not considering moving Pryor to another position.

“No, not right now we haven’t,” Reid said. “We think he’s a quarterback, and I think that’s what he wants to be.”

Pryor did not play during the 2014 season. He has a career record of 3-7 as a starter.

The Chiefs signed quarterback Terrelle Pryor after working him out Wednesday, reports the Kansas City Star. Pryor did not play in the NFL in 2014, getting cut right before the season by Seattle.

The 25-year-old played 14 games for the Raiders in 2012 and '13, completing 56.3 percent of his passes and accounting for 12 touchdowns (three rushing) and 14 turnovers. Pryor is the fifth QB on K.C.'s roster, joining Alex Smith, Chase Daniel, Tyler Bray and Aaron Murray.

Seahawks offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell said the backup quarterback battle between Tarvaris Jackson and Terrelle Pryor won't be decided for a while, reports the Seattle Times. "We will kind of just let it go for the next three weeks and see what happens," Bevell said.

Pryor went 9 of 16 for 137 yards with an interception and ran for 28 yards in the preseason opener. Jackson, last year's backup, hit 5 of 7 throws for 47 yards.
